## SaaS Architecture

FosterFlow supports multi-tenant deployment:

- **Self-hosted** — One rescue, one server, free forever
- **FosterFlow Cloud** — Automated onboarding, subdomain provisioning, managed hosting

See [docs/SAAS.md](docs/SAAS.md) for the multi-tenant architecture.
See [docs/ONBOARDING.md](docs/ONBOARDING.md) for automated provisioning.

## Quick Start (Docker)

The fastest way to get running:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fosterflow
cd fosterflow
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env — set SESSION_SECRET and SITE_DOMAIN at minimum
docker compose up
```

On first run, migrate and seed the database:

```bash
docker compose exec app npx drizzle-kit push
docker compose exec app npx tsx scripts/seed.ts
```

Then open `http://localhost:3000` and log in with `admin@example.com` / `changeme`.

## Quick Start (Manual)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fosterflow
cd fosterflow
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database URL, SMTP settings, etc.
npm install
npx drizzle-kit push
npx tsx scripts/seed.ts
npm run dev
```
